The UAB School of Optometry is the first school of optometry to be integrated into an academic health sciences center complex. It is the objective of the School of Optometry, functioning as an integral part of the Academic Health Sciences Center, to provide academic and research programs of excellence and social relevance.
The unique opportunities for interdisciplinary faculty appointments, as well as interdisciplinary student training, coupled with the opportunities for a wide variety of community services, have allowed an unparalleled development of the professional, residency, and graduate programs. Academic appointments and facilities are shared with existing units of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, including all schools within the Academic Health Sciences Center as well as the University of Alabama Hospital and the Birmingham Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
